At least he will push the button if needed.
I feel a lot safer with him at the helm.

Yep, I feel very reassured that he won't dither over pressing the button if it comes down to it, to defend Britain.
Hit the enemy before they hit us hopefully.

But Trident is not the
End of the World.

Labour MP's want it as well.


Many will be in Bunkers

See this worries me that one person has that sort of power, I would rather there be a nuclear committee that have to decide whether to push any button and who will weigh up the consequences of doing so from all sectors of opinion.

Personally I would not trust Cameron to tie shoelaces let alone with a decision as to pushing a nuclear button, not with his dithering and wavering procrastination over the last 5 years+.

Even worse for me on the nuclear issue is the fact that the UK even if it wanted to, cannot push the button, it first would have to get the permission of the USA to do so,which fills me with greater fear that our so called nuclear deterrent could be made to be pushed into action by the orders of the USA.

Quite frankly no one with the will to push it or not to push it, equally fails to to inspire me with any confidence in them as to the issue, I would rather have a strong check in place via a nuclear committee, made up of representation from the armed forces, representation of all other parties who have MPs in parliament ad the govt too, with the PM just one of many in attendance.
With a majority having to vote for any such action and remove from one person the sole decision as to same.

And in that scenario, they would still be discussing it in their bunker after the war had finished.

We have Cobra, a meeting of the cabinet in times of strife. That is plenty sufficient

COBRA, 'cabinet office briefing room A' is most of the time just another talking shop really, something that appears to be appearing to be doing something.

I,just my opinion that I am entitled to and it doesn't surprise me in the slightest you disagree anyway but then I am not the best person to give an opinion on David Cameron really as I am heavily biased against him..
I feel any brake on a decision as to pushing the button,to be more beneficial. Also anything that may stop a trigger happy PM or a PM who was against it to be brought into consultation on it and then having to abide by the overall decision to be far better and reasoned way forward.
I would feel safer with that in place anyway.
